"There is no such thing as the past and there is no such thing as the future. They are only a collection of thoughts and memories in your mind. The only thing that is real is right now."

I believe I heard a quote something along those lines while reading "The Hypnotic Salesman II" By Craig Beck. It applies really well to the fastlane philosophy.

The way I interpret it: It doesn't matter what you have done in the past. The past is just memories of something that has happened and the actions you take right NOW are what matters.

Your dreams of being rich and famous in the future are only that...DREAMS. Your mind thinks because you have this fastlane philosophy, you will achieve success. You won't, unless you take ACTION right now, in the present.

The here and now are the only thing that is happening, the rest is just thoughts and interpretations stored away in your brain.

I'd like to hear some other people's interpretation of the quote.
